Some hot blood dripped onto Ji Yunxi's hand. She lowered her eyes and asked in his ear, "Can the poison be transmitted through blood?"
Wu Wei'an said softly: "No, I asked specifically."
Ji Yunxi: "That's good."
Wu Weian paused and said, "I'm really hurt."
Ji Yunxi said coldly: "Then hold on."
Wu Weian: “…”
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Are you okay? Oh my god, brother-in-law, you lost so much blood!!" Ji Mingyan stood behind Wu Weian, looking at the wound on his brother-in-law's back soaked with blood. His hands trembled slightly, wanting to touch it but not daring to. Worry was all over his face. "Hurry, hurry, third sister, help my brother-in-law onto the carriage and hurry back home to heal!"
Wen Zhaomo and Xing Siyu also rushed over at this time. Xing Siyu said, "Come here, the prefect is injured, quickly go and get a doctor!"
The constable next to him asked, "Warden, what should we do with the prisoner?"
Warden Xing: "The situation has changed. We will take him back to the prison and discuss matters after your injuries have healed."
"No..." Wu Weian struggled to stand up straight.
Ji Yunxi seemed to be frightened and had no intention of lending a hand.
Wu Weian was on the verge of collapse.
Ji Mingyan hurriedly helped him up.
Wu Weian rested half his weight on Ji Mingyan. In front of the Liangzhou people, he said word by word, "Help me over. Xie Bin will be punished today."
After saying this with difficulty, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Wu Weian's face was pale, with shocking blood on his lips, but his expression was extremely firm. He refused to treat the wound first, but insisted on executing the unforgivable criminal on the spot.
Everyone around was shocked when they saw this.
Chapter 73: Erecting a Monument for You
At the execution ground on a spring afternoon, the people of Liangzhou looked at the prefect sitting behind the case in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
Ji Mingyan and Ji Yunxi were standing not far away. He watched worriedly, "Third sister, you've never made a mistake when it comes to judgment. Your wife is truly wonderful. Xie Bin robbed decent women and murdered them. He's truly guilty of a heinous crime. Your brother-in-law will endure the pain and execute Xie Bin on the spot to bring justice to the people of Liangzhou. He's not only a good husband and brother-in-law, but also a good official. What happened today will be discussed when we return to Shangjing..."
Ji Yunxi interrupted, "Sixth Brother."
Ji Mingyan turned his head and looked at his sister: "What's wrong? Is there anything?"
Ji Yunxi reminded him lightly: "You can prepare to go to Youshan to pick up the flowers. It will only take a few days."
Ji Mingyan: "Ah? But my brother-in-law is injured. Can he still go? He has to recover first."
Ji Yunxi shook her head and said nothing more.
Wanxiang, who was standing behind her, twitched her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and finally understood why her son-in-law stepped on her skirt.
At three quarters past noon, Wu Weian, who was standing in front of the case, threw down the wooden sign indicating his guilt.
Xie Bin was shaking like a sieve under the knife, and even urine was flowing out.
Xuezhu, who was standing aside and staring, frowned and took a step back.
The knife was raised and the head fell, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Xuezhu quickly retreated to the side again.
Fortunately, it didn't splash on him, but now he will have to clean up thoroughly.
Seeing Xie Bin was indeed beheaded, someone among the onlookers suddenly said, "Good!"
Then one after another, the silent crowd became lively, and the usually numb faces showed some hearty smiles.
"Xie Bin was actually beheaded! I'm so lucky to have witnessed this in my lifetime!"
"The Ye family's parents are still sick at home. I will go back and tell them the good news."
"Congratulations, congratulations! I must have a good drink tonight!"
“…”
The people were just rejoicing when they saw Wu Weian, who was holding on, suddenly fall to the ground.
Ji Mingyan was the first to notice it. Without a second thought, he immediately ran over, his terrified cry echoing throughout the entire execution ground: "Brother-in-law!!! You must hold on!!! Sixth Brother will definitely not let anything happen to you!!!"
Ji Yunxi's mouth twitched: "..."
She suddenly realized it.
-This morning, Wu Weian came to find her specially and asked her if she wanted to watch a play. Did he do that on purpose because he saw Sixth Brother was there?
In this world, besides Ji Mingyan, who else can support him like this?
Even his own servant Xuezhu ignored him and started cleaning up the blood and urine stains at the scene without even looking at him.
Ji Mingyan carried Wu Weian on his back and got on the carriage.
The carriage hurried back to the government office.
The people of Liangzhou were completely attracted by Ji Mingyan's voice, and their focus shifted from "Xie Bin was finally brought to justice" to "I hope the prefect will be okay."
"I didn't expect this new prefect to be so bold! He actually dared to touch the Xie family!"
"Finally, finally, a good official has arrived in Liangzhou!" An old man in the crowd, his hands trembling, tears welling in his eyes, clasped his hands together and bowed to the heavens, "Nothing can happen to him. God, I hope you have eyes and bless our Liangzhou, and keep the governor safe and healthy!"
The people couldn't help but follow Ji Yunxi's carriage for a few steps, with genuine worry on their faces.
The prefect, despite his injuries, insisted on having Xie Bin executed on the spot. This showed everyone the character and determination of the prefect.
A long time later, this scene at the Liangzhou execution ground was recorded in "Biography of Wu Gong" and will be passed down through the ages.

Ji Mingyan is best at making poisons, and secondly at detoxifying.
He thinks he is a good doctor.
But in fact, Ji Mingyan's medical skills are on par with his cooking skills.
But Ji Mingyan has always been confident and basically never doubts himself. Even if the feedback from the outside world is not good, he is still full of confidence.
As soon as he got in the car, he carefully put Wu Weian down and let him lie on the soft blanket.
Ji Mingyan looked up at Ji Yunxi who came in: "Third sister, are there any scissors in the car?"
